 * I’m looking for some help. Please see [http://collegebasketballtalk.com](http://collegebasketballtalk.com).
   Check out the twitter widget on the sidebar.
 * I’m looking to change the font type (and side) and also eliminate that crazy 
   little black image that’s sitting next to “CBBTalk”.
 * Can someone help with all of this?

 * Try adding:
 *     ```
       .sidebar .twtr-hd h4 {
       background-image:none;
       background-color:transparent;
       }
       ```
   
 * to the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet. You should also be able to add font-
   family and sizes to the same block if needed.

 * I’ve added it, as well as a font family and font size. Not much luck. Take a 
   look ([http://collegebasketballtalk.com](http://collegebasketballtalk.com)).
 * Also, the big space to the right of the header logo and above the text in question.
   Can I get rid of that space???
 * HELP!!!

 * Well that background image has gone – so that’s a good start. The font family
   that you added is also working. Remember to press CTRL and F5 simultaneously 
   when viewing an updated page/site. Or try emptying your browser cache. This should
   ensure that your web browser fetches a fresh copy of the page rather than serving
   up an out-dated copy from your own cache. Also disable/deactivate any caching
   plugin(s).
 * To get rid of the space above the widget heading, try adding:
 * `.twtr-widget h3 {clear:none;}`
 * to the bottom of your stylesheet.
